But if a best-case scenario for Gomes is a backup catcher role, the 25-year-old doesn't have much utility in Fantasy.
Granted, the Indians' starting catcher, Carlos Santana, often sees time at first base and DH, so Gomes would play more than the average backup catcher, but we're talking no more than two or three starts per week.
If you play in an AL-only league where each team starts two catchers, pick him up. Otherwise, leave him alone.

"They're giving him five or six days off from throwing," manager Joe Girardi said. "He's not scheduled to throw yet."
Girardi said that Pettitte may throw a simulated game instead of going on a real rehab assignment for his strained trapezius muscle.

"They told me Tex saw 40 to 45 pitches in four ABs," manager Joe Girardi said of the at-bats in the simulated games being longer than normal at-bats. "I don't imagine that's (a real game). I don't know how you do that."

Who else would it be? Paul Maholm? If his slide continues, his numbers could end up looking worse than Teheran's. But he doesn't have any bullpen experience, and it's not like he's going to the minors. By the time Beachy gets here, the Braves may prefer to move Teheran to the bullpen strictly to limit his innings.
I'm not saying you should drop Teheran in anticipation of Beachy's return. Someone else could go down between now and then, ending the dilemma. But you should prepare for life without him in Fantasy. My guess is it's rapidly approaching.

Westbrook has thrown a few times over the last few days, but is still working on progressing to the mound. He is expected to be out until early June due to scar tissue buildup in his right elbow.

Manager Joe Girardi said he expects Chamberlain to make at least two rehab outings. He won't be off the DL until at least next week.
"I don't know if it will be the weekend," Girardi said. "I think he'll probably do two turns, then we'll evaluate and make sure he's doing OK."

It's not about what Profar can do for you right now. It's about what he could do for you if he ends up sticking around in the majors. And frankly, if he hasn't bumped Leury Garcia out of the picture by the time Kinsler returns, he's not sticking around.
That said, even with Garcia in the mix, I think Profar will get enough at-bats to factor in the short term.
